Sorry to reply a third time, but the rangers of the story talk about a better distribution of visitors across the day. Half Dome permits started on weekends only and then adjusted from there. A permit system for hotspots between 10am and 3pm for example could manage the peak crowds but not prevent anyone seeing the highlights if they adjusted their schedule very slightly. In some places, this could be done with paid parking at certain times of the day, perhaps besides those with disability permits.
